A company wants to ensure it can respond quickly and appropriately when issues such as harmful outputs or critical errors occur in a production AI system. What should the company prepare in advance to meet this requirement?
Identify what should be prepared in advance to respond to issues.
A plan for additional training to improve model accuracy
This is incorrect. A plan for additional training is a routine quality improvement activity. It does not define procedures for containing, reporting, and correcting issues at the moment they occur.
An incident response plan that defines procedures, escalation paths, and remediation steps for issues that arise
This is correct. An incident response plan pre-defines the procedures, escalation paths, and remediation steps to follow when an issue occurs. This enables quick and appropriate responses.
A capacity plan to accommodate increased usage
This is incorrect. A capacity plan addresses preparedness for increased load and is a performance-related plan. It does not define responses to quality and safety issues such as harmful outputs or errors.
A quarterly cost review plan
This is incorrect. A cost review is a periodic activity for cost optimization. It does not define rapid response procedures for when issues occur.
The correct answer, incident response plan, is a document that pre-defines the procedures, escalation paths, and remediation steps for when harmful outputs or critical errors occur. It enables calm, rapid, and appropriate responses and minimizes damage — an element of responsible AI operations.
· Additional training (routine quality improvement)
· Capacity plan (load preparedness)
· Cost review (cost management)
All three address different concerns.
